  1. Eating Boogers??? Is this for real?

    gypsyatheart replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Okaaaayyyy.... What is this all about.....? TMI for my taste, on this board....I hardly think people, while engaging in this activity, are thinking of it in these terms!

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Telephone Triage

  3. intubated babies

    gypsyatheart replied to HarleyDivaRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    gypsyatheart replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. CNA in LTC needing to talk

    gypsyatheart replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way I would stay there either. Get a job elsewhere, even if it isn't in the healthcare field, and start working towards a nursing degree. There is no point wasting your time with those...

  9. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    gypsyatheart replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    gypsyatheart replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I had no idea there was such a debate. They sound like a bunch of very young people, very ignorant as to what nurses do. I had no idea there was such resentment however. Kind of makes me look at...
